The dispute of a ban on trophy hunting has always found its way to the surface. Scrolling through social media and viewing a picture of a trophy, especially of one enrolled on the endangered species list, brings outrage to those observing. Those who come across the news are quick to show their lack of agreement, for it could drive the wildlife into further extinction. Despite the fear of loss proceeds to wildlife habitats and local communities, trophy hunting should have a ban because it has been

is a writing style popularized by journalists such as Hunter S. Thompson, in which “Because it adds value for the audience, the creator’s role in the story is highlighted rather than marginalized” (Hoover, 2009) What this means is that the author is not presented as a third party observing the events of the article, but is instead an active part of it, with the article being written first person. In order to recreate the circumstances of a Hunter S. Thompson type of Gonzo Journalism, in which the writer

Two writers who come quickly to my mind whenever I hear or see images of American patriotism are John Steinbeck and Hunter S. Thompson.

Heroic Qualities In the dark of night, a cry for help rings through the cold air. The cry catches the attention of a pedestrian walking down the street. As quick as lightning, the person transforms into a colorfully dressed super power fighting machine and rushes in the direction of the cry for help. The hero jumps into the dangerous situation to save the damsel in distress from the criminals. Punches fly, bullets zing, and the skirmish is over when a final blow dealt by the hero. When the criminals

What is the American Dream? Today we see it as the “ideal that every person should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative”. I’d like to argue that the American Dream has changed throughout the decades from the twenties in The Great Gatsby to the sixties in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the dream doesn’t have to be achieved through hard work or set goals for yourself, it can simply be achieved through a persons’ happiness because

reliance on the trophy hunting industry, the authors undermine the oppositions believe that it can, allowing them to more easily persuade their audience to their opinion regarding the topic. The authors open their first argument by stating that “hunters are willing to go to remote and unstable areas” in need of their tourism that “photographic tourists are unwilling to venture,” assisting in the flow of the benefits of tourism to more swiftly reach those areas. This creates a sense of pity within
